The wagon is in 7mm but as it's a print can scale it down very easily. I've got some brass subframes on there was so I can build it at 36mm track. The print angle is worked out on the ratio between the number of pixels per square inch and the size of the slice. So it will change depending on which printer you are using. There is a web site where you can put your printer in and the thickness of slice and it gives you the angle. Your holes could be because your build plate might need an extra waiting time to allow the resin to settle before the light comes back on. I had the same problem and this solved the problem. Marc

Hi David, Thanks for the tip I will check your thread out. Marc

Fresh off the printer a DNGR dia 1 2plk open. I'm hoping to have it finished in then next week or so. Marc

What's the chassis like? Marc

How easy is it to build the Alphagraphix kit as a 5ft3 rather than the 8ft8 1/2 that it is designed at? I'm trying to work out if it's a kit bash or a scratch built job. Marc

A bit of an update on the wagon photo. There is a DN&GR wagon diagram book prepared by the LNWR, in 1903, of which a have go a few pages, the rest is on the way. This a snap shot of what was still in existance in 1903, anythibng scraped before or built after will not feature. So the 2plk open is actually a DN&GR D1 2plk 16ft long, 8ft wide, on a 9ft wheel base. Rated a 7tons and fitted with No1 round bottomed greese axle boxes. The other wagon is a DN&GR D2 coal wagon 16ft long, 8ft wide, one a 9ft wheel base. Rated at 10tons and fitted with No.2 greese axle boxes. I have no info, yet on where they were built, in what numbers were built etc but I have a fealing that might be on the way as well. Marc

I found this on a well known website. The first wagon is a carbon copy of the LNWR 4ft8.5 dia2 2 plk fixed side the other one looks like a LNWR loco coal wagon with a centre door. I have also passed the photo on to a friend who is in the LNWR Society to see if he can throw some light onto it. If the DNGR followed the LNWR's livery protocal the the phot dates from before 1910 when the diamonds were replaced with large LNWRs Marc

I already have a number of LNWR 4ft8.5 wagon in both 4mm and 7mm so drawing them out to fit 5ft3 shouldn't be very difficult. Marc

Were the wagons and vans just slightly wider versions of the standard LNWR versions like the coaches? Marc

I will drop them an email and see what they could do. Marc

Who's rail is it? Marc

What code of flat bottom rail would be right for a rural brach line? Being new to Irish railways I apologise if this is a question that has been asked before. I'm looking to build a micro layout in 7mm scale at 36.75mm gauge. Marc
